CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW WILD THE POKER GAMES WERE AT THESE SALOONS BACK IN THE DAY?

We've got a less dangerous way to play, and no skill required! Just collect a card at the museum and then at each of the three bars along the way. When you get back to the museum, you'll get your final card. The best hand wins and splits the pot with the museum.

THANK YOU

This site is dedicated to the staff of the Crested Butte Heritage Museum and to the memory of Ferdinand and Leola Yaklich, 88 year residents of Crested Butte. Ferd and Leola spent 59 amazing years together, raising their family under the watchful eye of these beautiful mountains. They were here as horses on Elk Avenue turned to men on the moon and a small, unknown coal town turned into a world renowned ski town. Ferd & Leola were a driving force in building the Crested Butte community and bridged the history of those of 19th century Crested Butte and those of 21st century Crested Butte.
